Well, you've read the notes, the notes were slightly off, and now it is time for you to post until the slightly off cows come home.

And the word of the day is: INGRATIATE!

Just got an e-mail and just from it's header I knew it was one I did not want to read. My friend Alan Abelew has passed away. No, we didn't really have much communication since the late 1980s, but he was one of my best friends from before LACC all through the seventies and eighties. I put him in every show I did and, of course, he created the role of George Brenner in The First Nudie Musical, which was a variation of the character I wrote for him in my musical Feast. He was in all the evenings I did of my songs, he was in Stages and Together Again, and he's in The Creature Wasn't Nice in the Dirty Harry Strikes Back sequence. He came in to do the Nudie documentary that Nick Redman directed, which is really the last time I saw him - I may have run into him somewhere after that, but only briefly, like in a restaurant. Cancer.

BK, I'm so sorry. My condolences.

Bruce, I share your grief at the loss of Alan Abelew. I still remember pinning the wigs on you and Alan for Comedy of Errors.

BK, I am so sorry to read of Alan's death.

DR JohnG, I'm sorry to read about your dad's return to hospital.

I have to deal with laundry this morning. I hope iot goes well. I also need to vacuum this dump.

I slept poorly last night, and I would kill to have another night like the one three nights ago. I was up and down too often with leg pains, restlessness, sleeplessness, and inability to get comfortable.

T.O.D.

I like ice cream.

Kitty cleanup went very badly. The litter is heavy and I spilled a large amount onto the litter pads after I had sifted it. This necessitated getting out the dustbuster, sweeping it all up, and working around curious Stella and Annabelle who want to know everything. Thatch very smartly stays out of the way.

As soon as I've taken my morning meds, I will sort the laundry and begin that.

The bed is made and the laundry in the washers. I need a good rest.

Good morning, all.

I slept through the night. Apparently no more power outages.

I have much to do this morning, which is why I’m lounging in bed.

Need to call Mom.

John G. · « **Reply #18 on:** November 30, 2019, 06:23:33 AM »

Bk, so sorry for your loss.

A bird is screaming again. So I guess I should get up.

I am glad THAT rehearsal is over. Vibes for better rehearsals today.

I cannot imagine NOT talking to the costumer before the first costume rehearsal.

Good morning, all.

Our THAT rehearsal was Wednesday a week and a half ago. Some of the costumes were donned, mock-up lighting was employed, and the photographer was there for the first hour doing what photographers do. When he left, we started our piano run-through, and it was apparent in the opening number (and I include mine own self in this judgment) that it was THAT one. The evening was not unpleasant, it was just a quietly degrading form of Hell.

Condolences to BK on the sad news. I will make a point of appreciating Mr. Abelew’s contributions on my next viewings of NUDIE MUSICAL and CREATURE.

George, which Broadway shows appeared on the CBS broadcast?

Speaking of the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade did anyone else think it was weird that they changed the lyrics in the Beetlejuice song to talk about the NBC hosts, the parade, and Thanksgiving?

Today, last minute preparations for our coming ~~sh-~~ weather. We have to install the reflectors along a couple of sections of the driveway, an annoying task in the rocky soil in these parts. We have to fill the sand and salt buckets with (you guessed it) sand and salt, and set them out in their customary places, also no small task because they weigh about 50 pounds each. I have to make sure the snowblower is fueled and run it for a few minutes, and check the supplies of gas and oil. I could go on...
